Massage refers to controlling the modulation of the subject's body by applying various types of mechanical stimulation to parts of the subject's body, such as kneading, pressing, pulling, tapping, or moving the part of the subject's body. It refers to medical supplementary therapy that helps circulation and relieves the patient's fatigue.

The increase in demand for massage has caused an increase in demand for massage devices or massage devices that provide artificial massage functions due to economic and time reasons. In other words, as the demand for relieving fatigue or stress by relaxing tense muscles through massage increases, various time- and cost-efficient massage devices are being developed and released.

Recently, massage devices have also been manufactured as bed types that allow users to receive massages while lying down. This bed-type massage device provides massage by stimulating the waist and back of a lying user as the massage module moves.

Meanwhile, existing bed-type massage devices have the disadvantage of being bulky because they must have a length at least equivalent to the user's height. However, in order to solve this problem, the conventional massage device includes a configuration that allows the leg portion to be manually folded, but there is the inconvenience of having to manually manipulate the leg portion every time a massage is provided.

In addition, the massage module that directly provides massage provides massage while moving while in direct or indirect contact with the user's body, so it may get caught in the user's body while moving, and even in this case, the massage module is forced to move. Doing so may cause injury to the user's body.

However, the problem to be solved by the present invention is not limited to the problems described above, but includes problems that can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from this specification and the attached drawings.

In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention includes a body part including an upper surface on which a user can lie down and a space provided therein, a massage module disposed inside the body part to massage the user's body, and the body part. It may include a leg support portion disposed on one side of the body portion to support at least a portion of the user's leg.

Additionally, a massage groove may be formed on the upper surface of the body portion so that at least a portion of the massage module is exposed to the outside.

Additionally, the massage groove may be formed to have a length in the direction of the user's height.

Additionally, the massage module may massage at least a portion of the user's body while moving in the direction of the user's height along the massage groove.

Additionally, the leg support portion may be rotatable in at least one direction.

Additionally, the leg support unit may include a leg support plate that contacts the user's leg to support the user's leg, and a leg actuator for rotating the leg support plate.

Additionally, the leg support unit may further include a link member that transmits power generated from the leg actuator to the leg support plate.

Additionally, a guide rail may be formed to have a length on one side of the leg support plate, and a wheel member moving along the guide rail may be disposed on one side of the link member.

In addition, it may further include an outer skin member covering at least a portion of the body portion.

Here, the fact that the massage module 200 provides a massage by directly contacting the user's body means that the massage device 100 does not include a separate member covering the massage groove 111, so the massage module 200 does not provide a massage to the user's body. This may mean providing a massage while in direct contact with the body.

In addition, the fact that the massage module 200 indirectly contacts the user's body to provide a massage means that the massage device 100 includes a separate member that covers the massage groove 111. Specifically, this refers to a case where a separate member covering the massage groove 111 is disposed between the massage module 200 and the user's body. Accordingly, the massage module 200 can apply pressure or vibration to a separate member covering the massage groove 111, and the pressure or vibration can be transmitted to the user's body. At this time, the separate member covering the massage groove 111 may be cloth, leather, synthetic resin, synthetic leather, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The massage module 200 may move along the longitudinal direction of the massage groove 111 within the body portion 110. For example, the massage module 200 may provide a massage to the user's body while moving along the massage groove 111.

Accordingly, the massage module 200 can provide massage to various parts of the user's body. Specifically, the massage module 200 may provide a massage to the user's body while moving from the area adjacent to the user's neck to the user's waist area.

As an example, the massage device 100 may include a leg support portion 120 disposed on one side of the body portion 110 to support at least a portion of the user's legs.

The leg support unit 120 may support the leg portion that is not supported by the body unit 110 when the user lies down on the upper surface of the body unit 110.

The massage device 100 according to the present invention may further include a control unit. The controller may control the operation of the massage device 100. The control unit may be implemented with one processor or may be implemented with multiple processors. When the control unit is implemented with a plurality of processors, at least some of the plurality of processors may be located physically spaced apart from each other. Additionally, the control unit is not limited to this and may be implemented in various ways.

For example, the control unit may correspond to one or more processors.

For example, in order to manually adjust the angle of the leg support 120, a method such as lifting the leg support 120 and placing a protrusion on a specific locking protrusion must be used. However, in this case, there is a problem that the positions where the leg support part 120 can be fixed are limited depending on the position and number of the locking protrusions.

To this end, the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include means for controlling the rotation of the leg support unit 120.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the driving principle of the leg support unit 120 of FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the leg support unit 120 may include a leg support plate 121 and a leg actuator 122.

The leg support plate 121 may be configured to contact the user's legs and support the user's legs. For example, the leg support plate 121 may be roughly formed in the shape of a plate. The user can receive a massage while placing at least part of his or her legs on the leg support plate 121.

The leg actuator 122 may be a means of providing power to the leg support plate 121 to rotate the leg support plate 121.

In one embodiment, leg actuator 122 may be a linear actuator. Accordingly, the leg actuator 122 can rotate the leg support plate 121 while extending and contracting linearly.

At this time, the leg actuator 122 may be controlled by the controller. Additionally, the user can input a signal for controlling the leg actuator 122 to the control unit through a separately provided input means.

As one embodiment, the leg support unit 120 may further include a link member 123 that transmits power generated from the leg actuator 122 to the leg support plate 121. The link member 123 may be a means for rotating the leg support plate 121 by performing a rotational movement by the linear movement of the leg actuator 122.

As an optional embodiment, a guide rail 1211 is formed to have a length on one side of the leg support plate 121, and a wheel member 1231 moving along the guide rail 1211 is disposed on one side of the link member 123. You can.

As a specific embodiment, the front of the leg support plate 121 may contact the user's legs and support the user's legs. Additionally, a guide rail 1211 may be formed on the rear side of the leg support plate 121. The guide rail 1211 may be formed longitudinally on the rear side of the leg support plate 121.

A wheel member 1231 may be disposed on one side of the link member 123, and the other end of the link member 123 may be connected to a separately provided rotation shaft. At this time, the link member 123 can rotate using the connected rotation axis as an axis. Additionally, a portion of the link member 123, for example, a specific portion between one end and the other end of the link member 123, may be connected to the leg actuator 122.

Therefore, when explaining the operation of the leg support unit 120 with reference to FIG. 4, when the leg actuator 122 extends linearly, the link member 123 may be pushed in the opposite direction of the linear actuator, and thus the link member 123 ) can rotate counterclockwise around the connected rotation axis. At this time, the wheel member 1231 rotates and moves along the guide rail 1211, and may move from the lower part of the guide rail 1211 toward the upper part. As the wheel member 1231 moves along the guide rail 1211, the leg support plate 121 can be lifted while rotating counterclockwise due to the rotation of the link member 123 and the movement of the wheel member 1231. .

Conversely, when the leg actuator 122 is linearly contracted based on FIG. 4, the link member 123 may be pulled in the direction toward the linear actuator, and accordingly, the link member 123 rotates clockwise with the connected rotation axis as the axis. can be rotated. At this time, the wheel member 1231 rotates and moves along the guide rail 1211, and may move from the top of the guide rail 1211 toward the bottom. As the wheel member 1231 moves along the guide rail 1211, the leg support plate 121 can be folded while rotating clockwise due to the rotation of the link member 123 and the movement of the wheel member 1231.

As an optional embodiment, the massage device 100 may further include a leg portion 130 disposed below the body portion 110. The leg portion 130 may be disposed on the lower side of the body portion 110 and support the massage device 100.

Since the massage device 100 is used while the user is lying down and is used for a long period of time without replacement, there is a risk of contamination or damage.

Accordingly, the outer skin member 140 can protect the massage device 100 from contamination by covering at least a portion of the body portion 110. Additionally, the outer skin member 140 can reduce the risk of damage by covering at least a portion of the body portion 110.

Additionally, as will be described later, one embodiment of the massage module 200 used in the present invention can provide heat to the user's body. In this case, sweat may be generated on the user's body, and the massage device 100 may be contaminated by the sweat.

To this end, as an optional embodiment, the outer skin member 140 may be detachable from the body portion 110. Accordingly, after using the massage device 100, the user can separate the outer skin member 140 from the body portion 110 and wash it.

As shown in Figure 5, when the outer skin member 140 is arranged to cover both the upper surface of the body portion 110 and the leg support portion 120, when the leg support portion 120 rotates, the outer skin member 140 is also folded or folded. It must unfold.

Accordingly, the outer skin member 140 may be formed of a material that is easily deformed. For example, the outer skin member 140 may be made of cloth, leather, synthetic leather, etc., but is not limited thereto.

As an optional embodiment, the outer skin member 140 may have a length longer than the length of the upper surface of the body portion 110 plus the length of the leg support portion 120.

For example, when the leg support portion 120 is unfolded and when it is folded toward the ground, the required length of the outer skin member 140 is different. That is, the length of the outer skin member 140 required when the leg support portion 120 is folded is longer than when the leg support portion 120 is unfolded. Accordingly, to ensure that the length is not insufficient, the outer skin member 140 can be formed to be longer than the length of the upper surface of the body 110 plus the length of the leg support 120, even when the leg support 120 is folded. The outer skin member 140 can completely cover the leg support portion 120 and the body portion 110.

The heating member 2122 can generate heat while inserted into the ball member 2121 and transfer heat in all directions within the ball member 2121. Therefore, the ball member 2121 can efficiently receive heat from the heating member 2122.

As an optional embodiment, the heating member 2122 may be formed to have a roughly cylindrical shape. The heating member 2122 may be inserted to penetrate the ball member 2121 and serve as a rotation axis around which the ball member 2121 rotates.

That is, the ball member 2121 may rotate around the heating member 2122 when providing a massage to the user's body. At this time, the heating member 2122 can continuously transfer heat to the ball member 2121. Accordingly, heat transfer efficiency can be further improved.

The heating member 2122 may include a housing and a heat source.

The housing may cover the heat source. For example, the housing may have a space therein and may be roughly cylindrical in shape. A heat source may be placed in a space provided inside the housing.

The heat source may be a means of generating heat by supplied power. For example, a heat source may have electrical resistance. Therefore, when power is supplied from the outside and electricity flows, the heat source can generate heat.

As an example, the heat source may be nichrome wire. As another example, the heat source may be a PTC heater. However, it is not limited to this.

The heating member 2122 may be manufactured by crushing at least a portion of the housing after the heat source is placed inside the housing. At this time, a part of the heating member 2122 may be distorted to fix the heat source, and the remaining part may maintain a roughly cylindrical shape.

When the heating member 2122 is manufactured in this way, the heat source can be firmly fixed to the housing, and manufacturing of the heating member 2122 can be easy.

The amount of heat generated by the heating member 2122 can be controlled by the controller. For example, the user can input the amount of heat to be generated by the heating member 2122 or the desired temperature into the controller through a separately provided input means. Based on this input, the controller can control the power supplied to the heating member 2122 to control the amount of heat generated by the heating member 2122.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212 may further include a washer 2124 disposed on the side of the ball member 2121. In a preferred embodiment, the washers 2124 may be disposed on both sides of the ball member 2121, respectively. Accordingly, the ball member 2121 can stably rotate around the heating member 2122. Additionally, the washer 2124 can protect the surface of the side of the ball member 2121.

As an example, the washer 2124 may be made of polyoxymethylene (POM). Accordingly, the washer 2124 can have strong physical properties from friction or impact and can protect the ball member 2121.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212 may further include a bearing 2123 disposed adjacent to the washer 2124. At this time, the bearing 2123 may be formed of a thermally conductive material. Accordingly, the heat generated from the heating member 2122 can also be transferred to the bearing 2123, and the bearing 2123 can transfer the received heat to the ball member 2121.

Accordingly, the heat generated from the heating member 2122 is directly transferred to the ball member 2121 at the portion in contact with the ball member 2121, and through the bearing 2123 at the portion protruding outward from the ball member 2121. It can be transmitted to the ball member 2121. Therefore, heat transfer efficiency can be further improved.

Figure 10 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the massage ball 212' of Figure 8.

For convenience of explanation, the description will focus on the differences from the massage ball 212 described with reference to FIG. 9. For example, unless otherwise explained below, the configuration described with reference to FIG. 9 may be used as is in the massage ball 212' of FIG. 10 or may be adopted within the range where a person skilled in the art can easily modify and apply it. You can.

Referring to FIG. 10, the massage ball 212' according to this embodiment may include a ball member 2121' and a heating member 2122'.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212' may include washers 2124' disposed on both sides of the ball member 2121'.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212' may further include a bearing 2123' disposed adjacent to the washer 2124'.

As an example, the ball member 2121' may be formed by combining two members.

In this way, when two members are combined to form the ball member 2121', each member forming the ball member 2121' can rotate individually. Accordingly, when the ball member 2121' is rotated in contact with the user's body, the two members can each rotate to provide a massage to correspond to the user's body. For example, a member that is in strong contact with the user's body may provide a massage while rotating strongly and quickly, and a member that is in relatively weak contact with the user's body may provide a massage while rotating weakly and slowly.

As an optional embodiment, at least one washer 2124' may be disposed between the two members. Therefore, when the two members rotate individually, each member can be protected from friction or impact by the washer 2124'.

Although not shown in the drawings, as an optional embodiment, a bearing 2123' may be further disposed between the two members. Therefore, the heat generated from the heating member 2122' can also be transferred to the bearing 2123', and the heat transferred to the bearing 2123' can be transferred to each member forming the ball member 2121'. This allows heat to be transferred more efficiently.

Figure 11 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the massage ball 212" of Figure 8.

For convenience of explanation, the description will focus on differences from the massage balls 212 and 212' described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. For example, unless otherwise explained below, the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 can be used as is for the massage ball 212" of FIG. 11 or can be easily modified and applied by a person skilled in the art. can be employed in

Referring to FIG. 11, the massage ball 212" according to this embodiment may include a ball member 2121" and a heating member 2122".

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212" may include washers 2124" disposed on both sides of the ball member 2121".

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212" may further include a bearing 2123" disposed adjacent to the washer 2124".

As an example, the ball member 2121" may be formed by combining two members.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212" according to this embodiment may further include a magnetic member 2125" disposed between the two members.

The magnetic member 2125" may be a permanent magnet and may provide a magnetic field treatment effect to the user's body.

For example, the magnet member 2125" can provide a magnetic field treatment effect to the user by linking with a magnetic field generation module described later.

Although not shown in the drawing, the massage unit 210" may further include at least one magnetic field generating module. For example, the magnetic field generating module may be disposed adjacent to the massage ball 212".

The magnetic field generation module can generate PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field). PEMF can help regenerate cells and tissues by acting on the user's body and inducing intracellular activation. Additionally, PEMF can act on the user's body to activate the body's tissue metabolism, relax muscle tension, and help relax the spine.

Therefore, the magnetic field generating module can generate PEMF to provide an additional magnetic field treatment effect to the user's body.

Additionally, the magnetic field generating module can be linked with the magnet member 2125" provided on the massage ball 212" to provide magnetic field treatment to the user's body more efficiently.

Additionally, the magnetic field generating module can generate heat. For example, a magnetic field generating module can generate radiant heat while performing magnetic field therapy. At this time, since the magnetic field generating module is disposed adjacent to the massage ball 212" as described above, the heat generated from the magnetic field generating module can be transferred to the massage ball 212". Accordingly, the magnetic field generating module can function as an additional heat source. That is, since heat is additionally generated by the magnetic field generating module, power consumption of the heating member 2122" can be reduced.

FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining how the upper cover 214 of FIG. 8 is coupled.

Referring to FIG. 12, the upper cover 214 may be placed on top of the module base 211. For example, the module base 211 may have massage balls 212 disposed on both sides, and an upper cover 214 may be coupled to the upper part of the space formed between the massage balls 212.

The upper cover 214 can secure the heating member 2122. For example, the heating member 2122 may function as a rotation axis of each massage ball 212, and the heating member 2122 may be fixed by the upper cover 214 so that its position does not change.

As an optional embodiment, a groove may be formed on one end of the heating member 2122, and a protrusion that is inserted into the groove formed on the heating member 2122 may be formed on the upper cover 214. Accordingly, while the upper cover 214 is coupled to the upper part of the module base 211, the projections are inserted into the grooves of the heating member 2122, so that the heating member 2122 can be fixed.

As an optional embodiment, the upper cover 214 may be placed lower than the height of the massage ball 212 when coupled to the upper part of the module base 211 to fix the heating member 2122. For example, when the massage unit 210 touches the user's body, the massage balls 212 may touch the user's body and the upper cover 214 may be spaced apart from the user's body. Since the massage balls 212 provide massage such as acupressure, vibration, and tapping directly to the user's body, the upper cover 214 is placed at a lower position so that the massage balls 212 provide massage to the user's body. It may not hinder you from doing so.

In an optional embodiment, top cover 214 may perform additional heating functions. For example, the upper cover 214 may be made of a thermally conductive material.

Since the upper cover 214 is connected to the heating member 2122 to fix the heating member 2122, heat generated from the heating member 2122 can also be transferred to the upper cover 214. At this time, when the massage unit 210 provides a thermal massage to the user's body, a certain amount of heat may be radiated and transferred from the upper cover 214 to the user's body.

Accordingly, heat can be transferred by the upper cover 214 to areas of the user's body that are not in contact with the massage balls 212. Therefore, it is possible to use the generated heat energy as efficiently as possible.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the buffer unit 215 of FIG. 8 , and FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating the function of the buffer unit 215 of FIG. 13 .

Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14 , the massage unit 210 may include at least one buffer unit 215 .

For example, the buffer unit 215 may be disposed on the lower side of the massage unit 210 with reference to FIGS. 7 and 12. Specifically, the buffer unit 215 is a portion directly coupled to the tilting unit 220. can be placed in That is, the buffer unit 215 may be disposed between the module base 211 and the tilting unit 220.

The buffer unit 215 may include a damper member 2151 and a damper shaft 2152.

The damper member 2151 may be a means of improving the freedom of movement of the massage unit 210.

The damper member 2151 may be a means to buffer the force applied to the massage unit 210.

As an example, the damper member 2151 may be made of an elastic material. For example, when an external force is applied to the damper member 2151, its shape may be deformed to correspond to the applied force, and when the force is removed, the damper member 2151 may be restored to its original state.

As an example, the damper member 2151 may be rubber. In a preferred embodiment, the rubber forming the damper member 2151 may have a hardness of 45 to 48 degrees. Accordingly, the rubber forming the damper member 2151 may have a hardness sufficient to maintain its overall shape. Additionally, the rubber forming the damper member 2151 may have a hardness sufficient to be deformed by force applied to the massage unit 210.

In this way, the buffer unit 215 maintains the overall shape of the damper member 2151, but is deformed by an external force, thereby improving the freedom of movement of the massage unit 210.

The damper shaft 2152 may be a shaft disposed to penetrate the damper member 2151.

As an example, the damper shaft 2152 may be a linearly formed coupling member. For example, the damper shaft 2152 may be a screw, nail, or bolt, but is not limited thereto.

The damper shaft 2152 is disposed to penetrate the damper member 2151, and both ends may be formed to protrude to the outside of the damper member 2151. One end of the damper shaft 2152 may be coupled to the module base 211. The other end of the damper shaft 2152 may be coupled to the tilting portion 220.

That is, the damper member 2151 is disposed between the module base 211 of the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220, and the module base 211, damper member 2151, and tilting unit 220 are dampers. It may be connected by a shaft 2152.

When force is applied to the massage unit 210, the force is directly transmitted to the damper shaft 2152 connected to the module base 211, and may be transmitted to the damper member 2151 through the damper shaft 2152. That is, the force applied to the massage unit 210 tries to move the damper shaft 2152, and the damper shaft 2152 changes the angle while deforming the damper member 2151 by the force, so the massage unit 210 The freedom of movement can be improved.

Referring again to FIGS. 13 and 14 , for example, when the damper shaft 2152 attempts to move in the D1 direction due to a force applied to the massage unit 210 from the outside, the damper member 2151 is roughly moved in the C1 direction. It can shrink. When the damper shaft 2152 attempts to move in the D2 direction due to a force applied to the massage unit 210 from the outside, the damper member 2151 may roughly contract in the C2 direction.

As a result, a specific portion of the buffer unit 215 is contracted by the force applied to the massage unit 210, and the freedom of movement of the massage unit 210 can be greatly improved.

Additionally, the buffer unit 215 may cancel vibration generated by the vibration motor when the massage module 200 provides a vibration massage. For example, since the buffer unit 215 is disposed on the lower side of the massage unit 210, the vibration generated from the vibration motor is transmitted as is to the massage ball 212, but is canceled out as it passes through the buffer unit 215 and is transmitted to the tilting unit ( 220), the height adjustment unit 230, the moving unit 240, or the body unit 110 may be weakly transmitted. In this way, since vibration is weakly transmitted to parts other than the massage balls 212, the durability of the massage device 100 and the massage module 200 can be improved.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment in which the temperature sensor 216 is disposed adjacent to the massage unit 210 of FIG. 8, and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along line X-X' of FIG. 15.

Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16 , in one embodiment, the massage unit 210 may further include a temperature sensor 216.

The temperature sensor 216 may be a means of measuring the temperature of the massage ball 212. Therefore, by measuring the temperature of the massage ball 212, the level of heat provided to the user's body can be adjusted.

In an optional embodiment, the temperature sensor 216 may contact the massage ball 212 to measure the temperature of the massage ball 212 . Accordingly, the temperature sensor 216 can measure the temperature of the massage ball 212 more precisely.

In order to stably contact the temperature sensor 216 with the massage ball 212, in one embodiment, the massage unit 210 may further include a plate member 217.

The plate member 217 may be formed to have at least one area curved. For example, the plate member 217 may include a flat area, and both ends of the flat area may be curved. At this time, the curved area of the plate member 217 may be formed to be curved in a direction toward the massage ball 212.

The plate member 217 may be made of an elastic material. Accordingly, the plate member 217 can be maintained to be bent in a direction toward the massage ball 212 by elasticity, and in detail, can be maintained in a direction that embraces the massage ball 212.

At this time, the temperature sensor 216 may be disposed on at least one end of the plate member 217, and the temperature sensor 216 may be maintained in contact with the massage ball 212 by the elasticity of the plate member 217. there is.

As an optional embodiment, the massage ball 212 may have a central diameter D1 smaller than an outer diameter D2. For example, the center of the massage ball 212 may be concave inward.

Therefore, when the temperature sensor 216 and the plate member 217 are disposed adjacent to the massage ball 212, the volume occupied by the temperature sensor 216, the plate member 217, and the massage ball 212 can be reduced. there is. In addition, since the temperature sensor 216 is disposed in a concave portion of the massage ball 212, the temperature sensor 216 can be prevented from being separated from the massage ball 212 while the massage ball 212 is rotating. .

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining an example of operation of the tilting unit 220 of FIG. 7, and FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view of the tilting unit 220 of FIG. 7.

Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18 , the massage module 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a tilting unit 220.

The tilting unit 220 is disposed on one side of the massage unit 210 and can control the rotation of the massage unit 210.

For example, the tilting unit 220 may be combined with the massage unit 210. The tilting unit 220 may control the rotation of the massage unit 210 so that the massage unit 210 rotates to an appropriate angle. Specifically, when force is applied to the massage unit 210 from the outside, the tilting unit 220 can rotate the massage unit 210 to an appropriate angle.

The tilting unit 220 may be disposed on one side of the massage unit 210, but may be disposed on the lower side of the massage unit 210 with reference to FIG. 7 . Additionally, the tilting unit 220 may be coupled to the lower side of the massage unit 210 in the longitudinal direction. Here, the longitudinal direction may be the direction in which the massage module 200 moves along the massage groove.

The tilting unit 220 does not automatically rotate the massage unit 210, but may rotate when force is applied to the massage unit 210 from the outside. For example, the tilting unit 220 may control the rotation of the massage unit 210 and may buffer the force applied to rotate the massage unit 210.

Specifically, when force is applied to the massage unit 210 in the direction of rotating the massage unit 210 and the massage unit 210 does not rotate to some extent in response, there is a risk that the massage unit 210 may be damaged. In addition, when the massage unit 210 moves along the massage groove and gets caught on the user's body, if the massage unit 210 moves along the path without rotating at all, it may press the user's body strongly and cause injury. .

To solve this problem, the tilting unit 220 can buffer the force so that the massage unit 210 rotates to correspond to the direction of the force when a certain amount of force is applied to the massage unit 210, The massage unit 210 can be controlled not to rotate beyond a certain angle.

As an example, the tilting unit 220 may include a tilting frame 221 and an elastic member 222.

The tilting frame 221 may be connected to the massage unit 210 at the lower side of the massage unit 210 . For example, the massage part 210 of the tilting frame 221 may be connected to the buffer part 215 at the lower side.

As a specific embodiment, the tilting frame 221 may be coupled to the lower side of the massage unit 210 in the longitudinal direction, and this direction may be the direction in which the massage module 200 moves along the massage groove 111.

The tilting frame 221 may be coupled to a height adjustment bracket 231 described later. For example, the tilting frame 221 may rotate based on a separate axis provided on the height adjustment bracket 231. To this end, the tilting frame 221 may be formed with a hole for inserting the axis provided in the height adjustment bracket 231.

The elastic member 222 is connected to the tilting frame 221 and may be a means of providing elasticity in the rotation direction of the tilting frame 221.

When a rotational force is applied to the massage unit 210, the elastic member 222 may contract to cushion the force. As the elastic member 222 contracts, the tilting frame 221 can rotate by a predetermined angle. Thereafter, when the force applied to the massage unit 210 is weakened or eliminated, the elastic member 222 can return to its original position by elasticity, and thereby the tilting frame 221 can return to its original position.

At this time, the elastic member 222 may contract and expand based on the rotation axis around which the tilting frame 221 rotates. For example, the center of contraction and expansion of the elastic member 222 and the rotation axis of the tilting frame 221 may be shared.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 18, the elastic member 222 may be provided with a through hole for inserting a separate shaft provided in the height adjustment bracket 231.

As an alternative embodiment, the elastic member 222 may be a torsion spring or torsion spring. When using a general linear spring, it may occupy a lot of space inside the massage module 200. For example, in order to provide a sufficient angle and sufficient strength of elasticity to the tilting frame 221, the linear spring must be disposed within a certain length of the massage module 200, but the massage module 200 has a certain length due to its characteristics. It is difficult to have volume. Therefore, the elastic member 222 is a torsion spring or torsion spring that directly provides elasticity in the rotational direction of the tilting frame 221, thereby providing sufficient elasticity to the tilting frame 221 while occupying a minimum volume. .

Referring again to FIG. 17 , an example of operation of the tilting unit 220 will be described in detail. The tilting unit 220 may be tilted at both ends of the massage groove 111 . Thereafter, while the massage module 200 moves along the massage groove 111, the tilting unit 220 may be gradually erected and then move in a horizontal state and then reach the opposite end again and be tilted.

That is, with reference to FIG. 17 , the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 are tilted at the left end, and as the massage module 200 moves to the right, the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 can be erected. .

By including this configuration, the massage module 200 can provide a massage corresponding to the user's body. That is, if the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 are maintained horizontally even when positioned at both ends of the massage groove 111, they are exposed through the massage groove 111 when the user lies down on the upper part of the body portion 110. You may feel uncomfortable in some areas. Therefore, at first, the user can lie down comfortably on the body part 110 with the massage part 210 and the tilting part 220 tilted, and then when the massage starts, the massage part 210 and the tilting part 220 ) can gradually move upright and provide a massage to correspond to the user's body.

Furthermore, the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 may rotate at a certain angle while moving along the direction of the user's keys. Since the human body has many curved parts, when the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 move and reach a curved part of the user's body, they rotate at a predetermined angle and then return to the horizontal position after passing that part. It can be erected.

That is, the massage module 200 includes the tilting unit 220 and can flexibly rotate at a predetermined angle in response to external forces or obstacles that impede progress, thereby providing a smooth and safe massage.

FIG. 19 is a view showing the height adjustment unit 230 of FIG. 7, FIG. 20 is a view showing the height adjustment unit 230 of FIG. 19 as seen from the side, and FIG. 21 is a view showing the height adjustment unit 230 of FIG. 19. This is a drawing to explain the driving principle of (230).

19 to 21, the height adjustment unit 230 may be a means for adjusting the height of the massage unit 210.

For example, the height adjustment unit 230 may be connected to the tilting unit 220. Additionally, the tilting unit 220 may be connected to the massage unit 210. Accordingly, the height adjustment unit 230 can simultaneously adjust the height of the massage unit 210 by adjusting the height of the connected tilting unit 220.

Accordingly, the height of the massage unit 210 can be adjusted to correspond to the user's body while providing a massage to the user. Additionally, the massage unit 210 may adjust the intensity of the massage applied to the user's body while providing a massage to the user. For example, the force of acupressure on the user's body, the intensity of vibration applied, or the intensity of tapping can be adjusted.

Specifically, the height adjustment unit 230 can adjust the height of the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 to correspond to the user's body. For example, when a person lies down on the upper surface of the body portion 110, the waist is spaced apart from the upper surface compared to the shoulders or hips. Accordingly, to correspond to this, the height adjustment unit 230 can raise the height of the massage unit 210 when the massage unit 210 moves and passes a position corresponding to the user's waist, and can be adjusted to the position adjacent to the shoulder or the hip. When passing through an adjacent area, the height of the massage unit 210 can be lowered.

Additionally, the height adjustment unit 230 can adjust the height of the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 to correspond to the intensity of the massage provided. For example, the height adjustment unit 230 can increase the intensity of acupressure, tapping, and vibration massage applied to the user's body by adjusting the height of the massage unit 210 to a high level. Conversely, the height adjustment unit 230 may adjust the height of the massage unit 210 to a lower level, thereby weakening the intensity of the acupressure, tapping, and vibration massage applied to the user's body.

The height adjustment unit 230 may include a height adjustment bracket 231, a first pinion gear 232, and a shaft member 233.

The height adjustment bracket 231 can form the overall shape of the height adjustment unit 230. The first pinion gear 232 may be configured to move the height adjustment bracket 231 up and down while rotating, and the shaft member 233 may serve as a rotation axis for the rotational movement of the first pinion gear 232. .

As one embodiment, the height adjustment bracket 231 may be formed in a roughly fan-shaped shape. Additionally, the height adjustment bracket 231 may be provided with a first rack gear 2311. For example, the height adjustment bracket 231 may include a first rack gear 2311 formed along the circumferential direction of the fan shape.

At this time, the first rack gear 2311 may be formed as a separate member and then coupled to the height adjustment bracket 231, or may be formed integrally with the circumference of the height adjustment bracket 231.

The first pinion gear 232 may engage and rotate with the first rack gear 2311. For example, as the first pinion gear 232 rotates, the first rack gear 2311 engaged with the first pinion gear 232 can move, and the height adjustment bracket 231 can rotate together accordingly. .

Specifically, when the first pinion gear 232 rotates around the shaft member 233, the first rack gear 2311 meshed with the first pinion gear 232 rotates the first pinion gear 232. It can be moved to correspond to the direction.

20, when the first pinion gear 232 rotates counterclockwise, the first rack gear 2311 can move upward to correspond to it, and accordingly the height adjustment bracket 231 moves upward. can be lifted towards.

Conversely, when the first pinion gear 232 rotates clockwise, the first rack gear 2311 may move downward to correspond thereto, and the height adjustment bracket 231 may move downward accordingly.

Through this, the height of the massage unit 210 and the tilting unit 220 can be adjusted.

As one embodiment, the height adjuster 230 may include a rotation actuator that provides rotational power to the first pinion gear 232.

The rotation actuator may rotate the first pinion gear 232. At this time, the rotation actuator may control the amount and intensity of rotation of the first pinion gear 232 by the control unit. Additionally, an input signal for controlling the first pinion gear 232 may be input by the user.

As an optional embodiment, the height adjustment bracket 231 may further include a guider 234 extending along the longitudinal direction of the first rack gear 2311.

The guider 234 may guide the relative movement path of the height adjustment bracket 231 and the shaft member 233. If described in detail with reference to FIG. 21 , the guider 234 may be formed parallel to the first rack gear 2311.

A guide groove 2341 may be formed inside the guider 234, which serves as a path along which the shaft member 233 moves. However, in detail, since the height adjustment bracket 231 equipped with the first rack gear 2311 moves as the first pinion gear 232 rotates, the guide groove 2341 is connected to the shaft member 233 and the height adjustment bracket. The relative movement path of (231) can be guided.

As an optional embodiment, a stopper 2342 may be formed on at least one end of the guider 234. As a preferred embodiment, stoppers 2342 may be formed at both ends of the guider 234.

The stopper 2342 can prevent the shaft member 233 from leaving the guide groove 2341. For example, if the first rack gear 2311 moves beyond the limit, a problem may occur where it becomes separated from the first pinion gear 232. Therefore, when the first rack gear 2311 moves to the limit point, the shaft member 233 may be caught in the stopper 2342, and the height adjustment bracket 231 may be prevented from moving beyond the limit point.

FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating the moving unit 240 of FIG. 7.

The moving unit 240 may be a means for moving the massage module 200.

Referring to FIG. 22, the moving part (240) may include a moving frame (241) and a moving wheel (242).

The moving frame 241 may form the overall skeleton of the moving unit 240.

A space for accommodating a height adjustment unit (230) may be provided inside the moving frame (241). The height adjustment unit (230) may be accommodated in the space provided in the height adjustment unit (230). At this time, the height adjustment unit (230) may be connected to the tilting unit (220), and the tilting unit (220) may be connected to the massage unit (210). Accordingly, the moving unit (240) may simultaneously move the tilting unit (220) and the massage unit (210) connected to the height adjustment unit (230) by moving the accommodated height adjustment unit (230). As a result, the moving unit (240) may cause the massage module (200) to move as a whole.

Specifically, the massage module 200 can move linearly within the massage device 100 by the moving unit 240 . For example, the massage module 200 may move along the massage groove 111 within the body portion 110 in the longitudinal direction of the user's body. Accordingly, the massage module 200 may provide massage to various parts of the user's body while moving along the longitudinal direction of the user's body.

The moving wheel 242 may be installed on the moving frame 241 to allow the moving part 240 to move within the body part 110. For example, a plurality of moving wheels 242 may be provided and may be arranged on both sides of the moving frame 241. The moving wheel 242 can move the massage module by rolling within the body portion 110.

As an optional embodiment, the moving unit 240 may further include a second pinion gear 2421 adjacent to the moving wheel 242. For example, the second pinion gear 2421 may share a rotation axis with one of the moving wheels 242. That is, the second pinion gear 2421 can rotate simultaneously with any one moving wheel 242.

Although not shown in the drawing, a second rack gear meshed with the second pinion gear 2421 may be formed inside the body portion 110. For example, the second rack gear may be formed along the massage groove 111 inside the body portion 110.

Accordingly, the second pinion gear 2421 can rotate and move along the second rack gear, and thereby the moving wheel 242 also rotates, so that the moving part 240 can move along the massage groove 111. .

As an embodiment, the massage module 200 may further include means for providing rotational power to the second pinion gear 2421. For example, the means for providing rotational power to the second pinion gear 2421 may be a motor or an actuator.

Accordingly, the second pinion gear 2421 can rotate by receiving rotational power, and accordingly, the moving part 240 can move linearly along the massage groove 111.
